Rats Nest (Vietnam Map) *Night Mod Requirement - Fixed*

*Night Mod Required install!*
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148711021&searchtext=night+mod

Major optimization passes have been made on this map. This should run very well on lower-end systems because this was one of the major focuses whenever creating this map. I wanted this map to run well on integrated graphics, and currently, IMO it does. The goal was to make a map that could run well under the official system requirements, and it does! With all that said, I still have A LOT of work to do, but enjoy this initial release!




A brief list of modifications (not full):
1) Back-face culling on almost every object included in this map like many console games do.
2) LOD bias optimization with lower systems in mind on almost every item, material, or object used in this map.
3) Foliage has been drastically reduced, and subsequently, the resources required as well.
4) Reduced the vertex complexity on a large number of objects used within the level.
5) Did things that are NOT officially supported by the developers, do not bother them with edge case bugs you only encounter on this map, because that's possible.
6) Optimized collision meshes (Some, not all yet)
7) Updated Dynamic Sky!
8) Improved AI Path-finding, and splitting routes more dynamic and often.

--------------------------

--------------------------

With all that said, I can personally spawn 200 AI and actually play a battle with relatively good performance, so that's cool. But at the end of the day, this map was made first and foremost with multiplayer sessions in mind. AI bugs are present in this map, and they are NOT the result of any failure of the base game or the developers but of the way the map was originally designed by me. Assuming people enjoy this map, I will resolve those problems in the coming updates.

I hope you enjoy and I look forward to the feedback you can give me on what you would like to see or modify!

Credit:
-Yoshi, for being there for me whenever I wanted to throw my computer out the window.
-The whole official development team has been instrumental with all the questions, patience, and honestly genuine kindness shown to me and others. There is no way even close I could have made it this far without you guys/girls.


Thank you!
